Cal Koat Production & VO Demo

Imaging, Movie Trailer, Smooth

I have a resonant baritone that's reminiscent of early FM without the lethargy. I voice many movie promos and can easily slide from light and humorous to dark and forboding. Overall, my on-air sound has been described as very sexy, expecially by ethnic listeners for some reason. I'm the total package with 28 years of commercial production experience, I have the ears and the pipes to deliver the goods, straight and simple or with gusto. I MC many, many performances because I give great intro.

I’ve been working the past twenty-eight years in Greater Vancouver radio, twenty-two of those specifically in multicultural broadcasting, most notably as International Program Director of 96.1 FM, CHKG and AM 1470, CJVB, Fairchild Radio and executive producer of world.beats on Channel M. I was instrumental in the application and acquisition of Fairchild Media Group’s license for AM 1430, CHKT, Toronto and wrote the programming format for 96.1 FM, affectionately known as ‘The World’ which for three years, until October 31st, 2000 grew a loyal and enthusiastic audience as North America’s ‘very first commercial FM world beat radio station’. I have been presented with the Canadian Association Of Broadcaster’s highest honor for Canadian Talent Development, The Gold Ribbon Award, recognizing 96.1 FM’s World Music Spectacular for excellence in the promotion and development of Canada’s world music artists.
